Author's Note
Using allegory and a few simple words, a pathway to the understanding of one's own reality is
drawn with pictures and verse.
If read to a child, where the flame is still bright, the flame will be sustained.
For the young adult, the flame will be rekindled.
As for the adult, perhaps the flame may be relit so that the REAL QUESTIONS-WHO AM I?
WHY AM I HERE?-will hopefully find a place in their daily lives.
The pathless path is hard to find.
It climbs above the heart and mind.
It goes so high that ONE can SEE
That I AM I and "he" is "he".
R. B. Schron and I. M. Heer, "The Pathless Path"

For the Reader
Are you like this fish who wants to climb
To higher heights where all's sublime?
Where joy awaits along the way,
Life's meaning clearer everyday.
The time to start is always now.
Real teachers need to show you how.
To know yourself, to see your role
For peace on earth to be your goal.
